Awesome app for real time use...

Fake data shown in colorful infographics. In my city there is load shedding for 2 to three hours every week. Yet the next day that app says that 100% demand was met yesterday. I was impressed by the idea of this app when I first heard about it from Mr. Piyush Goyal in an interview on NDTV. But sadly my personal observation is that all the data in app is mostly made up.

I do not like to criticize in general but when I got the email (though I never subscribed for it) , I thought idea / concept looks genuine. I installed the application and when I launched it - An error message in a web page kind of space on mobile device with small font and visibility "THE REQUESTED URL CANNOT BE FOUND" This doesn't even qualify for an mobile application. Calling a webpage from a mobile device, a page which not even working? I was expecting something more when lots of initiative has been taken on the name of digital India.

This is not even an app, plz do not misguide people This is not an app, but a web page that is not even mobile optimized, you have to zoom in and out. Moreover the data is not relevant to common man, it just gives daily stats per state. Relevant info will be to know about city/ area consumption, outages etc. The info is at a macro level which the people will have of little use and judgement. Make the APP USEFUL!

Great App Shows the data which the center has for states to purchase and distribute, not what the state delivers. Saw fee comments saying it is fake app as they get power cuts, please meet your local MLA and raise your concern.

Good governance... All of real time tracking of Central government is best. This is the best idea to led transparency . bt one thing I want to say its app could be better.. The idea is best bt method of showing is not good. it's taking too much time..thanks

All fake data All data provided is just fake... I have been observing the data for past 20/days or so. My state is showing 100% power met each day. However we almost get 2-3 hrs daily power cut. All fake...

The Texts are overlapping Many data are still not available and only blank spaces shown. Many Texts are overlapping. Though it is a good initiative by the government, the app should have gone through extensive testing on all platforms before releasing.

Good intensions BAD APP Piyush Goyal, pl dont call a page as an APP. IT IS A PAGE.Launching pages as app not a brilliant idea.It gives some information surely, but is it empowering me? No...it is not even allowing me to interact with the APP/PAGE,whatever you are calling it,.clearly POOR APP DEVELOPEMENT,very sarkari in style,no practical information,non interactive, boring. Pl build buttons to highlight power failure to elecricity boards, MLAs by us.This will generate eye on delievery of electricity in areas.Without it , poor app

It's just a page & only one information This is not a app.. DON'T Make different app for different features. Make one good app of this department.,then we'll get all info at one place. This is very bad example of digital India initiative..

Static Information It would be better if some useful information can be provided like notification of power outage in advance of your locality, so that common man can prepare for it. Figures like how much power was required, how much is met, how much was peak, is pretty useless for a common man.

Good initiative for transparency on power supply Now we can notice power supply really shortage or our state ignorance to buy from national grid . thanks for this . please also add complaint section or app so that state or center govt can be more accountable to people .

Very nice initiative This app tells about the supply and demand met for each individual state and exchange price at a 15 min block interval. This indeed bring transparency and accountability in the system. A small suggestion is that this could be made more mobile friendly. Currently this app takes you to the web page designed for typical desktops.
